Chicago, IL (August 26th, 2015) Cross is coming and ABUS Mobile Security, Inc. is ready to go to the races with a full schedule of events on the calendar.

Beginning with the Ellison Park Cyclocross Festival presented by Full Moon Vista on September 4th-6th, ABUS is kicking off a full schedule of participation in cross events around the country that includes the UCI World Cup kickoff at CLIF Bar CrossVegas on September 16th; the KMC Providence Cyclocross Festival, October 2nd-4th; the Trek CXC, October 10th-11th; the Chicago Cross Cup Series powered by SRAM; and the CrossCrusade Series based in Portland, OR.

“We’re big believers in the sport of cyclocross and we love how it puts us directly in touch with our customers. Everybody is out there on bikes doing what they love. And we get to teach them about how to protect the bikes - all of the bikes - that they love. What makes cross so unique is its appeal to such a wide swath of participants: we see messengers; urban commuters; bike shop owners and their staffs - like the amazing crew from Full Moon Vista; the hard core racer and the hard core believer in having fun on bikes; roadies and mountain bikers; suburban families and college kids. And ABUS makes a product that’s right for ALL of them. It’s an ideal way to be out supporting the community.”

Trek CXC Cup director Renee Callaway commented, "We are excited as an event to be working with a brand like ABUS who sees the value in engaging the cross community. On a personal level and as somebody who rides as much as possible keeping my bike secure is of the utmost importance. It's no fun to have your bike stolen - whether it's your new race bike or your old city cruiser and we are excited to help them spread their message about the importance of locking up!"

Hanscom continued, "We will be on site at as many of the races as possible and we're working closely the various promoters to make sure there is always something fun happening in our tent in addition to showcasing the latest and greatest locks. We encourage everybody to come say hi.”

ABUS is once again supporting cyclocross in 2015. Kicking off the season at the 2015 CLIF Bar CrossVegas on September 16th, the opening round of the UCI World Cup Cyclocross Series, ABUS returns to the race as both a race sponsor and as a presenting sponsor of the BikeValet.

"We sponsored the BikeValet last season and it was great. This year, with CrossVegas hosting the first UCI World Cup Cyclocross ever in the US, we're sure the interest in being at the race will be higher than ever." said ABUS Marketing Manager Joan Hanscom. "We're hoping that by offering a safe option for fans to park their bikes we can get more people to the race on two wheels. There is an excellent route to the venue via the bike lane on Twain Avenue. It takes riders all the way from The Strip to the race where they'll be able to leave their bikes in a staffed, secured bike parking area. To make it even more attractive - anybody checking their bike into the bike parking will automatically be entered into a drawing to win ABUS prizes throughout the evening."

Race Director Brook Watts commented, "I enjoy how ABUS stepped up last year to make bike commuting to CrossVegas worry free and secure. It was a big success and I'm really pleased that we've teamed up to offer it again this year."

Hanscom continued, "We are looking forward to a great party and a night of incredible competition under the lights. Everybody at ABUS has a healthy competitive streak, many of us race ourselves, and we are looking forward to cheering on some of the top riders in the world and from our own staff in the Wheelers & Dealers event."
